You can try Xamp, Wamp for windows, and if you already have prebuild wordpress then you have to make sure that the migration is done properly.
For migration there lots of plugin available to that use one of them.
Or just change the host file with same domain name, so that you can test your wordpress site without any migration burden.

I have been doing some research on editing WordPress sites locally and found that PhpStorm is one of the best IDE's out there for this.
The problem I am having is that after downloading my entire WordPress site to my local machine I am unable to even find an option to import it and run it in PhpStorm. I am also struggling to find comprehensive tutorials out there for this so I would appreciate it if someone can at least point me in the right direction so that I can start making progress.
JetBrains has already written a very comprehensive documentation on how to get started with WordPress in PhpStorm.
Documentation Link : https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/preparing-to-use-wordpress.html
This is the most useful part for you Download and install WordPress but I would recommend to go through the doc in its entirety.
To run WordPress you will have to setup a local development server. You can use the following.
Laragon
XAMPP
Local by flywheel (Its pro version is free now.)
I can download the WordPress website which is already created. So, I need to run that website locally. Please let me know step by step.
I don't know your setup but I'll give you a complete solution now and then we fix any problems afterward.
First thing you need to do is download a local WordPress hosting environment and set up a local host for the website. I prefer to use FlyWheel because it's the easiest so far. Other options include Laragon, XAMP, and WAMP.
After installing Flywheel and setting up a local install you download the "All In One WP Migrator" plugin on both the live website you want to run locally and the local website.
Once you use that to migrate the website to a local setup everything should be fine. If you have the error establishing database connection again I will tell you how to resolve that. It's pretty easy actually.
No more cowboy coding! I'm trying to develop on my local machine, but I'm no Ubuntu expert!
I've got it to the point where when I browse to "localhost" in my browser, it pulls up my Wordpress install and runs the site. It's trying to update, and showing this prompt:
So it's trying to run FTP as what? I'm new to Ubuntu, on my shared Bluehost server space Wordpress has no trouble FTPing out. How do I configure this on my local Ubuntu machine so that Wordpress can update. It's a fresh Ubuntu install from ISO disk. Do I need to configure FTP somehow? This is probably a very basic question - I think I'm looking for a few shell commands as the answer.
Here is a way in which you can disable the FTP Credentials for installing Plugins and Themes from backend
Just Add the following Code in wp-config.php
define('FS_METHOD','direct');
I need to edit an existing yii app but got no idea how to setup in xampp.
I downloaded everything from the server and moved the folders to /opt/lampp/htdocs
But then i got no idea how to get the application running.
When i try
/localhost/yiidirectory
It shows me the file structure so the app isn't executing.
Can you give me some advise to accelerate the problem solving ?
Since windows 7 I believe you need to use:
http://127.0.0.1/yiidirectory
If that doesn't work then check your xampp setup:
http://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/100/yii-and-xampp-server-on-windows/
The DNS resolver just hands back localhost so it never resolves it for the app/browser.
I have been working on a WordPress plugin locally using IIS PHP and Wordpress installed through webmatrix.
So far.. Easy. That is what I like.
But... Now I have to get the whole thing to my host that is not Using IIS and does now support Web Deploy.
FTPing the files is easy enough but I don't see how to get my MYSQL database up to the server.
What is the Easiest way to publish the database with the files?
And I need EASY!
:)
You guys are real programmers! Me not!
I think the easiest answer is to move to a windows web host :-)

If you're just working on a plugin, technically the plugin should be smart enough to create any data structures you need. That's what makes the thing portable:

You should be able to write the plugin to create any required data, then package and install the plugin on your site.
Happy coding!
